Pale Kings and Princes, Audio Book

Pale Kings and Princes, Audio Book (1988) Robert B. Parker narrated by Michael Prichard (Spenser)

Cocaine. Police corruption. Murder. Revenge.

Barely anyone in this book is likable and most of the people are pretty awful.

But–as with other books–there is an open recognition of the importance of mental health and its treatment.

It always amuses me when Spenser complains about Susan’s cars.

Susan had a new car, a bullet-shaped red Japanese sports car with a turbo-charged engine that would go from 0 to 5 million in 2.5 seconds. She blazed around in it like Chuck Yeager, but it scared me half to death and whenever I could I drove it with the cruise control set to fifty-five so it wouldn’t creep up to the speed of light on me when I glanced at the road.
